Mesothelioma Case: Why Getting Compensation Is Difficult?

Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that is highly correlated to overexposure to asbestos. Mining of asbestos has been carried out for over 150 years and Canada is today among the countries with the greatest asbestos mining capacities. The downside has been the exposure to asbestos that affects workers in this industry. Until the 1970s, use of asbestos in building homes was also prevalent, and this could have added to the numbers of people reporting positive for mesothelioma.

Don’t let ignorance harm your interests

While there are compensation programs offered by the government to those afflicted by this disease, most people are unaware of them, and thus they do not seek compensation.

In addition, some people are convinced, often fraudulently, that nobody can be held liable for the disease, and thus, no compensation for negligence can be claimed.

Getting insurance companies to pay compensation can be difficult, partly because most people are unaware of their rights.

That is why it is important to retain a lawyer for a mesothelioma case. Whether it is a question of long term disability denied or any other problem where the compensation due to you has been withheld, it helps to have a lawyer negotiate with insurance companies about your mesothelioma case.
